((Her brother might be liquidated as a result as well. Wouldn't put it past them.)) ((Why ELSE is Hawk so terrified of his upcoming trial? Hmmm? If he falters even the slightest, it could mean termination - not just for him, but possibly his squad.))

((Sorry to be a downer here, but it's suddenly occurred to me how easily this house of cards would fall in on itself. First of all, a simple spin on the media coverage of the whole Red Roots affair could paint Rose as an extremist and EEI as a company trying to discredit their competition. NT could also make it seem like Red Roots itself was a harmless project by releasing falsified documents as "evidence," that would reveal Red Roots to be something innocuous, maybe even philanthropic, such as, say, a program to develop beneficial forms of wheat that would grow on Mars. Nanotrasen could even go so far as to "prove" that Rose is dead and that the one making the statements is an imposter acting on behalf of EEI's corporate interests. This would discredit the cause and open EEI up for legal proceedings against them. On the subject of crimes of humanity, even OOCly I refuse to believe that any corporate entity that spans star systems would truly care about its employees and human rights, so it wouldn't take much digging by NT sponsored journalists to uncover some juicy secrets. If there truly are none to be found, a few could be falsified. Very easily. There's literally hundreds upon hundreds of actions that the NT corporate body could take that would defuse the situation for them and discredit Rose. I liked the whole Rose/Thorns storyline, but to be honest, this has fallen into the uncanny valley for me now. The entire idea that NT would be implicated of anything and not do anything to repair their reputation is predicated on the premise that the entire company is made up of complete and utter morons. This is not the case. To have gained the power that they hold in this timeline, they must obviously be composed of some of the most efficient, intelligent and ruthless people in the galaxy. The kind of people that would not let shit get to this point.))

(( He's right. All of that makes perfect sense. ))
